First of all you have to open the init.con of the specific map you want to use in alpha project and replace the default soldier kits in the "LevelSettings" with the one used in the mod:
gameLogic.setKit 1 0 "MEC_Specops" "mec_specops_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 0 "US_Specops" "us_specops_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 1 "MEC_Sniper" "mec_sniper_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 1 "US_Sniper" "us_sniper_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 2 "MEC_Assault" "mec_assault_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 2 "US_Assault" "us_assault_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 3 "MEC_Support" "mec_support_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 3 "US_Support" "us_support_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 4 "MEC_Engineer" "mec_engineer_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 4 "US_Engineer" "us_engineer_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 5 "MEC_Medic" "mec_medic_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 5 "US_Medic" "us_medic_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 1 6 "MEC_AT" "mec_at_soldier"
gameLogic.setKit 2 6 "US_AT" "us_at_soldier"
Now make sure you have a "CustomTextureSuffix" for your map, dont let the "" stay empty this might cause the map to crash, there need to be eighter desert, woodland or snow used for the "CustomTextureSuffix"
if v_arg1 == BF2Editor
LevelSettings.CustomTextureSuffix "desert"
else
texturemanager.customTextureSuffix "desert"
endIf
Next scroll down to the very bottom of your init.con and add the following code:
run ../../common/init/loader.con mec us desert
This code determinds what kind of camo paint the customization system will be using, as of now you can only have the following three types of weapon camos for you map: desert , woodland , snow
Thats the basics for making a custom map working for the alpha project mod, of corse do this not gurantee that any map will work with the mod!
There are maps that use custom objects from other mods for example which might require adding the custom content it is using to the map directly in order to make it work but thats another story :)
I hope i could help you guys to make your map working within alpha project!
I gonna add more custom maps asap !
hey, i love alpha project bro and you've done an awesome job,but how do i put more than 8 bots on maps? in gulf of oman i snype normally on the hotel rooftop and its pretty boring there coz there are basically no bots...thanks
I read it and I am surprised that people have a problem with adding maps to this mod, it is so trivial, that you do not really need tutorial, you only have to think for a moment :P
Where can I find the exact location of "Level Settings"
Oh nvm i found it
Hol up, where and how?
I made all the necessary changes but it still crashes but it won't log an error.
This happens to me too
I make maps of Original BF2 work, but i don't why the customizations and kits selects not work
